I have taken all of this as a wonderful learning experience. I dont use my youth as an excuse for shortcomings, rather as an important factor in my successes and accomplishments. Its kool to learn so much at so young of age and i'm now looked at as an up-and-coming rolemodel for many across the world. So with that said, I'm grateful for all experiences i've witnessed first-hand in the past year and I appreciate the opportunity. For those who are under the impression that i dont want it badd enough, that couldn't be farther from the truth. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion so it wouldn't make sense for me to argue that but i do respect the decision made by Steve Rifkind & SRC's staff. I think the proof is evident that HipHop is my heart from day one and aside from my God-given talent, i pay close attention to tha business side of the game, the 90% side. Good luck to the remaining finalists, shouts to the other 8 who have or still are competing and good luck to everyone competing in the 2nd contest. If you followed me from day one you know i was in the top 10 of the 1st bracket and was not picked a cash prize winner. So the majority of the LOUD community knows that i am very determined and live by the motto "Winners never quit & quitters never win" ... There is much more in store and this is only the beginning. Keep ya head up & keep grindin!
